The Ken Miller Scholarship for Advanced Remote Sensing Applications is awarded thanks to the generosity of USGIF and Riverside Research and it is named for Mr. Kenneth W. Miller, who is known as a founding father of measurement and signatures intelligence (MASINT),
But more importantly, he developed innovations and techniques that formed the cornerstone for the Center’s national processing, analysis, and reporting of many national level radar, infrared, and optical intelligence sensors still used today.
